    Option A. 9

    Explanation:

    Isotope results when there is a change in the Neutron number of an atom.

    From the question,

    Mass number of the sodium isotope = 20

    But the atomic number of isotopes are constant. Therefore, the isotope has:

    Proton = 11

    Mass number = Neutron + Proton

    Neutron = Mass number - Proton

    Neutron = 20 - 11 = 9
